In our previous post, we showed you how to shard your MongoDB databases and covered the theory behind it. But you are not done yet. How do you monitor the shards to make sure they are performing, and that data is distributed evenly between your shards? And how do you consistently backup your data across shards? This is our ninth post in the “Become a MongoDB DBA” blog series.

These are the replay details for the second webinar of the ‘Become a MongoDB DBA’ series, during which we demonstrated how to monitor MongoDB and discussed the most important metrics to keep an eye on.
